Barbecue stove with collapsible stand

Abstract

A barbecue stove with collapsible stand has a grill pan and a stand mounted on the grill pan. The stand has a main leg mounted pivotally on the grill pan and a secondary leg connected pivotally to the main leg. When the main and secondary legs cross each other, the stand is unfolded and supports the grill pan high above a plane. When the main and secondary legs overlap each other and the main leg is pivoted to lie on the grill pan, the stand is folded into a compact size. The stand of the barbecue stove is structurally simplified and therefore is easy to assemble, fold or unfold.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A barbecue stove with a collapsible stand comprising:
 a grill pan comprising:
 a bottom; 
 a guiding frame mounted securely on said bottom of said grill pan; 
 a gap formed between said bottom of said grill pan and said guiding frame; and 
 a retainer mounted on said bottom of said grill pan and comprising:
 a mounting bracket mounted securely on said bottom of said grill pan and comprising a mounting end; and 
 a holding bracket mounted rotatably on said mounting end of said mounting bracket and comprising a hook mounted around a peripheral edge of said mounting bracket; and 
 
 
 a stand mounted on said bottom of said grill pan and comprising:
 a main leg comprising:
 a pivot bar mounted through said gap of said grill pan and mounted pivotally on said bottom of said grill pan; and 
 two supporting bars protruding substantially perpendicular from said pivot bar of said main leg; and 
 
 a secondary leg selectively held by said holding bracket of said retainer and comprising:
 a sliding bar mounted slidably through said gap of said grill pan; and 
 two supporting bars protruding substantially perpendicular from said sliding bar of said secondary leg and respectively connected pivotally to the supporting bars of said main leg. 
 
 
 
     
     
       2. The barbecue stove as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each supporting bar of said secondary leg comprises a distal end curved outwardly and selectively abutting a distal end of a corresponding supporting bar of said main leg. 
     
     
       3. The barbecue stove as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein
 said main leg of said stand further comprises two wheels respectively mounted rotatably on the distal ends of the supporting bars of said main leg. 
 
     
     
       4. The barbecue stove as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said main leg of said stand further comprises a reinforcing strut mounted between and attached to said distal ends of the supporting bars of said main leg adjacent to said distal ends of the supporting bars of said main leg. 
     
     
       5. The barbecue stove as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein
 said guiding frame of said grill pan comprises:
 a crossbar separated from said bottom of said grill pan; and 
 two mounting bars protruding substantially perpendicular from said crossbar of said guiding frame and attached securely to said bottom of said grill pan; and 
 
 said gap of said guiding frame is defined between said bottom of said grill pan and said crossbar of said guiding frame. 
 
     
     
       6. The barbecue stove as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said pivot bar of said main leg is mounted pivotally on said bottom of said grill pan via two hinges.
